The Technical Steering Council (TSC) is a committee within OpenEmbedded
(OE) appointed by the board with its members voted by election of the eV
members.

The TSC is ultimately answerable to the members of the OE eV through the
OE board!

The TSC has 5 positions which will be filled by 5 people elected by the
OE eV members using the eV voting processes.

The serving term of a TSC member is 1 year, they may be re-elected to
serve more than one term. Each position on the TSC is elected seperately.

No member is required to serve out his full term, the board would prefer
that if a member of the TSC feels that he is not in a position to best
serve the TSC that he can step down and trigger an election for his
position.

Decisions by the TSC are made where necessary by majority vote. Once a
decision is made by the technical steering committee, the decision
should be respected as a democratic decision.

The board will leave the internal running of TSC
meetings/roles/communication/task allocation to the current committee to
decide, but we would wish that the TSCs actions were transparent to the
members.

The rights and responsibilities of the TSC within the project.

1) To lead the technical development of OpenEmbedded forward.
2) To generally promote good development practice in OpenEmbedded.
3) To assist the board anticipating future developments in world outside
OpenEmbedded, that could affect the project technically, and bring these
to the members notice.
4) To govern access to all technical aspects of OpenEmbedded, this
includes official git trees, openembedded-devel mailing list, bug
trackers, QA systems, and others as the TSC sees fit.
5) To make decisions in the technical implementation of OpenEmbedded
where the membership is unable to obtain a consensus within itself.
6) To guide the technical aspects of cooporation with outside entities,
whether upstreaming or collaborating.
7) To inform the OpenEmbedded board if there is an area not covered in
the charter the TSC feel should be and the board can make a decision on
updating the charter.
